Lake Cuyamaca is an angler's paradise!

It's location, about an hour from anywhere in San Diego County, makes it perfect for a day trip filled with

fishing and relaxation. 

At 4,600 feet, the climate is colder in the winter and

throughout the year, allowing us to be San Diego County’s only year-round trout fishery. We stock approximately 45,000 pounds of rainbow trout annually. 

​

IMPORTANT UPDATES -

As of May 27, 2022, the Adult Fishing Permit price will be adjusted to $10.
